Hot off its complete redesign for the 2024 model year, the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus features a modest list of updates and changes by comparison. However, it does receive notable alterations to its interior color lineup. In fact, the luxury crossover loses four interior colorways that were previously available for the 2025 model year.
Specifically, the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus Premiere loses Light Smoked Truffle, which was available in conjunction with Lincoln Soft Touch seats for the 2025 Nautilus Premiere. It was also the colorway of choice for the optional Jet Appearance Package on the same trim. Meanwhile, the Light Smoked Truffle / Darked Smoke Truffle interior colorway has been deleted from the Nautilus Reserve. This colorway was available with Premium Leather-Trimmed seating surfaces as well as the Jet Appearance package on this trim.

The combination of Black Onyx / Allura Blue interior is no longer available on the Reserve trim; this colorway could not be paired with the Jet Appearance Package on this trim. Finally, the Redwood Theme is no longer available on the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus Grand Touring, having been replaced by the all-new Aurora theme – which is the only way to still get Allura Blue interior accents.

Aside from the aforementioned changes to its interior color pallet, the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus also gets minor alterations to its exterior color options, too. Two colors – Diamond Red Metallic Clearcoat and Lustrous Gray Metallic Clearcoat – are gone, replaced by Gray Matter Metallic Clearcoat, which is all-new for the latest model year.
Beyond the colors, however, the 2026 Nautilus holds steady without any groundbreaking updates. That’s not surprising, considering the second-gen model only debuted a few years ago. While pricing for the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus is not yet available, it’s worth noting that Ford has no plans to move production of the luxury crossover stateside to avoid tariffs implemented by the Trump administration. The Nautilus, which is built in China, will continue to be imported to the U.S. despite said tariffs.

too bad, if it wasn’t built in China I’d be considering it
Same here, the new China Nautilus is up $20,00 for the 2019 I had.
Once they drop the Corsair, Lincoln will and only 3 look alike SUVs,
They need at least 6-8 models to compete. Genesis has only been around 20 years vs over 100 years for Lincoln. Ford should just kill Lincoln, they only sell 80,000 unites, they just killed the Escape / Corsai which sold owner 125,000 units . Farley is quickly eliminating all models . What a fool he is
If they keep eliminating these options it won’t be long that we’ll be back to old Henry— you can have any color as long as it’s black!
